Free slot: Harvest Wilds

How Harvest Wilds works

Over the past few months, if there is one provider that has seen its rating rise greatly, it is Hacksaw Gaming. For the past several weeks, this company has been making slot machines that are very popular with the online casino community. In this article, Lucky7Bonus will introduce you to the latest creation of Hacksaw Gaming: Harvest Wild. This slot was released on February 2, 2022, and is available at the vast majority of the online casinos we provide at Lucky7Bonus.

When you go to Harvest Wilds, you will find yourself in the middle of a wheat field where there are bales of hay. As you can see, Hacksaw Gaming has decided to focus its latest creation on the field of agriculture. On this slot, the graphics are very simple, but effective. The sound ambiance is perfect, it will allow you to totally immerse yourself.

Connections work in cascades, meaning that a game round only stops when no more connections are possible on a game round. Features are present in the basic game, and it will be possible to get free Harvest Wilds spins. However, as you will see later, these are not real free spins.

The starting grid is large, as it has 7 columns with 7 horizontal rows. Finally, you will be able to bet between €0.20 and a maximum of €100 per game round.

As mentioned in the introduction of this slot, there are several different features to be enjoyed during the pay games of Harvest Wilds. The first feature is triggered when you get a sunflower nugget. When it arrives on your screen, it comes with a x2 multiplier.

The sunflower is a wild symbol that allows you to connect with all other symbols in the slot. As soon as no more connections are made on the game spin, the symbol disappears.

Up to four sunflowers can be present on your screen on a single spin, even during your free spins.

However, there is one symbol that can keep your sunflower on your screen, and that is the water drops. As you can see in the top left of the following screen, three drops of water are available as symbols. On the right side of your screen there is a bar. Each time the water drops appear, the bar on the right will fill with a line.

So, as you can guess, each drop of water is an extra turn with the sunflower symbol.

Finally, the last symbol that can appear on your screen is also a drop of water, but this one is green and it contains an "x" symbol inside.

So, each time this symbol appears, it will add + 1 on the sunflower symbol that is already present. If more than one sunflower is present, the water drop symbol will only add its multiplier to one sunflower. This is the only feature of this symbol on Harvest Wilds.

The different symbols of Harvest Wilds

As you have seen a few lines before, Harvest Wilds is a slot machine that has three symbols that allow you to have features or help them to increase.

In addition to these three symbols, there are eight other symbols that make up this slot machine. These symbols are divided into two specific categories: premium symbols and non premium symbols. First of all, we will talk about the non premium symbols.

The reason these symbols are called that is because they appear much more often than other symbols, but they will pay you less if they are part of a connection. They are represented by different vegetables:

• A carrot

• A white carrot

• A pumpkin

• One bell pepper

The following screen shows the values of the different symbols for a starting bet of 1 euro.

In addition to these non-premium symbols, you have a second category of symbols that includes four premium symbols. These are called premium symbols because they appear much less often than the others, but they pay more when they are part of a connection. They are represented by different vegetables which are: a corn, a radish, a broccoli and an eggplant.

The following screen also shows the values of each symbol with a starting bet of 1 euro.

The different connections of Harvest Wilds

Connections on the Harvest Wilds slot machine work in cascades, as mentioned in the introduction to this slot machine. For a connection to occur, a single symbol must be part of a group of at least five common symbols that touch each other from top to bottom and/or left to right.

The more of the same symbol you see on your screen, the bigger your final win will be. For those who don't understand how the connections work on this slot machine, the following screen will do just that.

The top starting grid shows you a valid connection to Harvest Wilds while the bottom starting grid shows you a connection that is not valid at all.

How the Harvest Wilds bonus works

Harvest Wilds is a slot machine that does not feature free spins per se. In fact, for one of the first times in the history of the online casino, a slot machine offers its players to buy the free spins, but these do not guarantee you to get the bonus.

In fact, the slot machine offers you to have two/three/four sunflower seeds on a starting spin. The spin will cost you 5x/25x or 100x starting bet depending on your choice, but you will not be guaranteed that the two/three/four sunflower symbols connect.

So the only difference between the pay spins when you choose the bet and the pay spins that cost 5/25/100 times your starting bet is that it guarantees you to get sunflowers.

Thus, this new type of bonus, which is not a bonus in the online casino world, is likely to be the talk of the web.

However, as you will see in the conclusion of this slot, even though the volatility of this bonus is even higher than the others, you will still have the chance to potentially win very large amounts of money on it.

Our opinion on Harvest Wilds

Our opinion on Harvest Wilds is mixed. First of all, we have to underline the beautiful work done by the provider Hacksaw Gaming, which once again offers players a slot machine that is very well worked out and has a unique concept.

Now, let's move on to the negative. And it seems that the bonus games that actually are not are a big problem on this slot. Indeed, there is no difference between the base game and the bonus games, which makes this slot machine very boring and it is very difficult to see its real potential.

However, even though the slot machine doesn't always seem to want to give back, it does offer a maximum payout of 10,000 times your original bet, which is quite substantial in the online casino world.

Finally, the other strong point of this slot machine is its theoretical return to the player. Usually, providers make slots available to players that offer an RTP around 96%. However, Harvest Wilds has an RTP of between 96.27% and 96.34%, which puts it in the upper mid-range of slot machines on the market.
